One Of the most attractive features Ct TIC
event was sale OF yelled statrary. Darl;
cambria curtlins shut cfs :. portion of the lorc,
veranda, and when tiley were drawn aside
seven figures wrapped IN white sheets ard
completely masked Were exposed The
auctioneer, with more or less successful st
tenlpts at hunor, described the statues IS
representations of the classic goddesses and
offered them for sale ono after another
Bidding on the first began at one dollar and
mounted rapidly by dollar jumps 10 nine,
then by half dollar bids to eleven, ct which
price it was knocked down The gentleman
making the purchase paid his money and
received ticket with number correspond
ing to the card held in the hand of the statue.
The next statue brought only six dollara
After that none sold for less than ten.
Rich Banker Seligmann stood on the veranda
steps watching the transactions with an
amused smile. When No. ) was put up
he started the bidding with loud S..
Somebody Immediately bid six and Mr.. Selig-
mann followed with q determined ten, as if by
that means to shut off further bidding, but
two others without any pause whatever car
ried the figure up to thirteen, and before the
banker could recover from his surprise it was
knocked down. The result was that when
No. q was put up Mr.. Seligmann bid
ten, and when after moment somebody
ventured bid Of eleven he exclaimed fifteen
No one competed with him at that figure, and
he secured the ticket.
When it was all over the purchasers were
requested to come up and remove their prop
erty The man who had been so anxious to
get No. 5 found that 1t was nothing but o
broom dressed up with sheet and mask,
and Mr.. Seligmann turned pale But he was
correspondingly rejoiced to find that in es-
gaping the dummy he had secured one of the
nandsomest young ladies of the day, and the
quantities of Strawberries and cream and the
knickknacks that he bought for her out of
his great joy would not bear mentioning.
No. 5 was the only dummy and money poured
freely into the treasury Golfers from the
pockets OF the purchasers, for it was part of
the duty of the statues to insist on being

The Sons of Great Men.

1t is strange how often it is that the sons OF
great men never amount to anything. | am
almost ready TO express the idea promulgated
by Henry George i'll Progress and Poverty"
that although men are inherently much the
same, their surroundings settle nearly every
thing as to whether they will be great or
small Now there are the sons of Old John
Brown, who live on Brown mountain, near
my town. Here's the poet Longfellow's son,
who was here the other day and so on. They
had parents with ideas which made them
great, but they never struck any tide in any
thing which lied on to fortune or to success,
which il means in this case. They were out
side the currents, and l apprehend that's
about all the difference there Is between men.
Now, | told George Jones, the editor Of
The New York Times, that the other day.
Jones was talking about the newspaper busi-
ness i'll New York and the success he had
made, and l said to him: Jones, anybody else
could have done it just as well. You are
largely a creature OF accident You didn't
make yourself The city Of New York, with
its steady growth, made You. Not yourself.
You're no brighter, nor keener, nor better
poised in judgment than 10000 other men
right around YOU. You simply got IN on high
tide. Take all those men who figured in the
early history of the United States, whom we
all now honor How many of them would be
great if they lived in the present day: The
country was new, and population scant.
Somebody had to Ell public positions, and
they filed the post as thousands upon thou
sands OF other men might have done And
because circumstances largely put them there.
we call them great. Don't think | am
arguing in circle now, for / am not. IL you
look close you viii see what ( mean. San
